Docs: Justice Department facilitated anti-Zimmerman protests
Daily Caller ^ | July 10, 2013

A division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) was deployed to Sanford, Florida in 2012 to provide assistance for anti-George Zimmerman protests, including a rally headlined by activist Al Sharpton, according to newly released documents.

The Community Relations Service (CRS), a unit of DOJ, reported expenses related to its deployment in Sanford to help manage protests between March and April 2012, according to documents obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch.

CRS spent $674.14 between March 25-27 related to having been “deployed to Sanford, FL, to work marches, demonstrations, and rallies related to the shooting and death of an African-American teen by a neighborhood watch captain.” CRS spent another $1,142.84 for the same purpose between March 25-28.

CRS spent $892.55 “to provide support for protest deployment in Florida” between March 30-April 1, and $751.60 “to provide technical assistance to the City of Sanford, event organizers, and law enforcement agencies for the march and rally on March 31.”

Sharpton, who promoted the Tawana Brawley hoax in the 1980s and in 1995 led a protest against the “white interloper” owner of a Harlem clothing store that ended in a deadly shooting rampage at the store, was a featured speaker at the March 31 rally, called “The March for Trayvon Martin,” where he advocated for Zimmerman’s prosecution.

CRS expenditures related to the anti-Zimmerman protests continued through mid-April. Between April 11 and April 12, CRS spent $552.35 “to provide technical assistance for the preparation of possible marches and rallies related to the fatal shooting of a 17 year old African American male.”

Local government officials noticed the Department of Justice’s efforts in building “bridges of understanding” in Sanford.

So Obama and holder will be directly and personally responsible for the ensuing riots that are sure to come.

We should start cutting government by eliminating any program or department that has ‘community’ in its title.

Believe me, if the left starts a race war, there won’t be any “martial law” or confiscation.2 things are missing to have martial law, 1, someone to obey it, 2, someone to enforce it.I know a good many military and LE, and I am not worried one bit about it.

Our government officially does not like white, conservative, Christians with traditional values, and who do not want to live on government handouts- and we do nothing about it.

They are at war with us.

How could anyone support this! How could anyone not see the government is against the people?

The black community must come to the realization that they are being used as a TOOL to maintain liberal control over them and subsequently control the government. The democratic party reversed its plan of control over black Americans by supression after the passage of the Civil Rights amendment in 1964. Something that they opposed vehemently until its passage.

Subsequently they reversed their approach and regained control of the black vote by passing every welfare and dependency legislation it could, effectively painting the very party that afforded them civil rights as THE oppressor. They taugth them that they could shed personal resposibiliy for benefits paid by others. This DOJ community organizing stuff is just more proof that they are being used. Wake up America!

OBTW the other party has fallen in to the usefull idiot roll too trying to out-lib the liberals. Way to go guys.

There are no words for me to describe this "man" occupying the WH.

Sickening!

yeah, well, it means nothing if people allow no consequences to this behavior.

In otherwards, I am upset, but it means nothing as long as it is allowed to stand without protest.

Or maybe a yawn that I would not think should be a yawn.

If when there are protests where professional signs are used, the printers name is on them.
Therefor obtain a few different ones used and track the Printer and who paid the Invoice.
It is similar to tracking who is paying for the lavish Soirees for the IRS.
